Simulation results for oblique impacts: (a) Distribution of particle concentration in ejected droplets depending on droplet size and impact angle α as well as (b) number of resolvable droplets and (c) particles in droplets ejected above a specified altitude depending on impact angle α. In (b) and (c), for altitudes lower than hcut (asterisks), the distributions are considered the lower bound (dashed lines) and the upper bound is undefined as indicated by the shaded areas (see section “Estimating time of droplet separation from crown and cut-off altitude hcut”)
